The Doctress with Healing Hands: Your Highness, Please Behave Yourself

Chapter 29



Chapter 29


Zhao Yuchen was amused by her cute appearance of bearing grudges. He took her into his arms and murmured in her ear, “There are many kinds of wanted criminals. Take you, who can be cajoled directly to bed to be loved, for an example, are essentially different from those who are thrown into prison.”


Fortunately, they were sitting in a large chair in the palanquin and nobody was watching. Otherwise, Bai Qingqing would surely be angry at his bold behavior.


In fact, she was already angry, but the rogue man beside her didn’t even take her anger seriously.


“Well, is there no breakthrough about the man behind all the palace panic who caused the poisoning in the vegetable garden?”


Although the epidemic situation was checked, for Bai Qingqing, she felt as if she was facing an invisible big net, which could possibly entwine her at any time.


“Don’t worry, the net of Heaven has large meshes, but it lets nothing through. We will find the person in question, it’s just a matter of time.”


When Zhao Yuchen was saying this, shrewdness flashed in his eyes.


Although no conclusive evidence had yet been found, he had known who should probable be the criminal.


At noon, they finally arrived at Putuo Temple.


To Zhao Yuchen’s surprise, Prime Minister Qin, Qin Zizheng, was also here.


It turned out that the Buddhist Abbot of Putuo Temple, Master Huijing, had a good relationship with the Prime Minister Qin when they were young.


In addition, the two men and Bai Qingqing’s master, Mo Shoude, were also old friends.


“To count carefully, I had not seen Mo Shoude for nearly twenty years. I was takan aback that he had no children but accepted such a little girl as an apprentice in his old age.”


During the conversation, Huijing’s sharp eyes carefully examined Bai Qingqing, whose shrewd eyes gave Bai Qingqing an unspeakable sense of crisis.


At that time, she heard Master Huijing’s mysterious and unpredictable words: “Where there are causes, there are consequences. The causes born themselves and the consequences muse be born. That is the so-called philosophy of causes and consequences.”


Everyone was confused by Master Huijing’s words.


Old Prime Minister Qin frowned and said, “Huijing, what do you mean by saying so many causes and consequences in one breath?”


Zhao Yuchen also wanted to hear the answer as he wanted from Huijing.


As for Bai Qingqing, there was a strong illusion of being seen through.


If Master Huijing could really understand the nature’s mystery and foresee life and death like the news from mouth to mouth, could the soul of Su Ruoqing hidden in her body be seen at a glance by Master Huijing?


This guess made Bai Qingqing’s heart race uncontrollably, and her eyes instinctively turned to Zhao Yuchen not far away.


The so-called “redeeming a vow to a god” was just a cover and the real intention of this man to bring her to Putuo Temple today was to get a reasonable answer by using the eyes of Master Huijing, wasn’t that true?


Although some of the truth had not been disclosed under her vigorous concealment, Zhao Yuchen was such a smart man.


Again and again, he showed interest in her, a country maid, and she even heard him call her “Qing Er” more than once.


Even if we could explain the situation by being drunk or unconscious, Zhao Yuchen did not resist her when he was sober and awake.


In addition, she always showed the same habits and nature as Su Ruoqing intentionally or unconsciously, including her hostility and anger towards him when they met for the first time.


Even if he could not confirm his conjecture for the time being, he would surely find some trace on her after a long time.


If this was true, then this trip to Putuo Temple was not as simple as only to pray.


The change of expression on Bai Qingqing’s face did not escape Huijing’s sharp eyes. He stroked his beard and showed a meaningful smile.


“When I saw Bai Guniang, a lot of emotions suddenly came to me. It is the so-called when the fate comes, people gather and when the fate leaves, people break up. One’s fate in one life rises and falls. It’s your luck to catch the ups and downs of fate between people. If you can’t catch it, it’s your destiny.”


“So the Master wanted to tell me that we should learn to cherish the people by our sides?”


Hearing the words, he showed a satisfied smile and thought her promising and worthy to be taught. “As a matter of fact, Mo Shoude was lucky enough to receive such a genius as his apprentice. This is the principle of causes and consequences circle in the unseen world. It seems like the situation have entered a desperate situation, but it is a desperate place where rescue could be found, just like bright flowers emerges among dense willow trees when you are about to lose hope.”


Master Huijing spoke with jeweled words, and others may not understand them, but Zhao Yuchen and Bai Qingqing had heard some clues from him.


The bizarre topic did not last long.


It was rare for them to get together. Besides talking about Buddhism and Dharma, they also talked about the current situation.


During this period, the shrewd Prime Minister Qin could easily guess from Zhao Yuchen’s attitude towards Bai Qingqing that the former Emperor of Great Yan Kingdom seemed to have certain confidence in winning Bai Qingqing’s heart.


To his surprise, although they did not know each other for a long time, there was a tacit understanding between them that would amaze others.


Was it true that the Sacred Emperor had other plans to bring Bai Qingqing to see Master Huijing?


As for his exact intention, Prime Minister Qin could not guess correctly for a while.


However, if the emperor, who had been silent for many years, could really blossom and bear fruit in the love with a girl like Bai Qingqing, it would not be a bad thing for Great Yan.


Before leaving Putuo Temple, Zhao Yuchen found an opportunity to speak to Master Huijing alone.


His intention was simple that he wanted the master to give him an answer. Was Bai Qingqing and Su Ruoqing the same person?


Faced with Zhao Yuchen’s expectant eyes, Master Huijing smiled. “Since you have already known the answer, why do you bother to ask me? Yes or no, everything depends on one’s own mind. I still say that when the fate comes, people gather and when the fate leaves, people break up. Whether you can grasp the fate in your hands depends on your personal good fortune.”


Listening to this, Zhao Yuchen bowed deeply to Master Huijing, “Thank you for your revealing over the years. Otherwise, I couldn’t survive the past, more than 2,000 difficult days and nights. At last, I could finally see through the clouds to see the bright moon. It relies on Buddha’s blessings and god’s bestowing.


Before leaving, Master Huijing sent him another sentence: “If you have Buddha in your heart, all you see is Buddha.”


Zhao Yuchen earnestly remembered this sentence in his heart.


By the time he left Putuo Temple, the sky was already dark.


In December, the temperature in the capital city had dropped completely.


When he got into the carriage, Zhao Yuchen put a thick fur cloak on Bai Qingqing and whispered in her ear, “It's windy at night. Be careful in case you catch a cold.”


A seemingly simple concern made Bai Qingqing well up.


After getting into the carriage, she could not help burying herself in his warm and generous arms.


This unexpected action made Zhao Yuchen feel a little touched.


Intuition told him that Bai Qingqing’s willingness to act so intimately towards him was enough to show that she had accepted his existence in the bottom of her heart.


No, to be more precisely, in her heart, she had forgiven him for all the harm he had done to her.


They thought this trip to Putuo Temple would be a sweet trip for Zhao Yuchen and Bai Qingqing.


Unexpectedly, there were unexpected storms in the sky, and man’s fate was as uncertain as the weather. On the way to the capital overnight, they came across with assassins.


This time, Zhao Yuchen went out secretly with only four secret guards besides Ming Hao.


Although these people were well-trained in the palace for many years, but no way could they resist hundreds of assassins’ encirclement in turn.


Bai Qingqing, who lacked the strength to truss up a chicken, obviously became a burden for Zhao Yuchen and others. In order to protect her from assassins, Zhao Yuchen and Ming Hao closely surrounded her.


In this way, because they could not fight with the assassins freely, they were immediately in an inferior position.


“Lord Seventh, it’s dangerous to stay here for a long time. You bring Bai Gunaing with you and leave first. We the subordinates will provide cover for you.”


Ming Hao fended off the sharp arrows fired by the assassins with sharp eyes and agile hands, but the situation was terrible. Hundreds of people surrounded their group of six people. It seemed that they were fraught with grim possibilities on their return journey.


In order to minimize the damage and ensure Zhao Yuchen’s safety, he was willing to resort to the inadvisable plan of sacrificing his own life.


Zhao Yuchen practiced martial arts from an early age, and his skills were naturally as good as Ming Hao.


But there was also a Bai Qingqing who could not do martial arts. Once he rushed into danger headon, it would be hard to guarantee that his beloved would not suffer from it.


After judging and weighing, he could only compromise with Ming Hao’s proposal, pulled over a black horse, held Bai Qingqing and sit down, turned his horse’s head and went in the opposite direction.


Bai Qingqing had never experienced such situation in her two lives.
